TypeWhisper

Dictation that doesn't sound like a robot took it

· writing · typewhisper.com ↗

Push-to-talk dictation that runs OpenAI’s Whisper locally and applies a light cleanup pass — the result reads like written prose, not a transcript. Hold a key, talk, release; the cleaned text lands wherever your cursor was.

Cleanup trims filler words, applies punctuation, capitalizes properly, and resolves the “uh, wait, scratch that” pattern into the corrected sentence. Aggressiveness is configurable per app — useful when you want raw fidelity in one place and polished prose in another.

Transcription is fully on-device, so it works on a plane and never sends audio to a server. The cleanup pass uses an LLM call (your own API key) and can be disabled for fully offline use. One-time purchase, macOS 13+.
